For development, I use a local LAMP stack, for production I'm using MediaTemple's Django Container (which I'm loving BTW). MT's container uses lighthttpd. Honestly I've never had any other experience with it. I've always used Apache. I've been doing some reading:
Here's are questions:
- What strengths does one have over the other?
- Would it benefit me to use lighthttpd on my dev setup?
- What's up with using both? The Linux.com article talks about using lighttpd with Apache.
